My first tank is fast approaching 50, and after a lot of careful research, learning to play as a tanker (and getting rid of most of the brute mindset I've come to know and love), and finding myself more and more amazed by the tank class I've come up with what I hope to be my final build.
Now I want someone to help me rip it apart.
My goals with this build aren't particularly lofty: I'm looking to tank in Incarnate content, but if I find myself having to deal damage, I want to feel like I can at least contribute (mostly I focus on control at those points though).
I would love to say cost is no object, but purple sets, pvp sets, and large luxury sets are, for the most part, not within my budget -- all the fairly expensive IOs I've got slotted I've been building up by running tip missions, SSAs and stealing a few here and there from other characters (you can probably tell something about my budget by the sets I've put in).
My ultimate, final build will probably include an Agility Alpha (although, Cardiac does look somewhat tasty for the end reduction and to help fill in some additional resistance). I'm looking at either Rebirth or Ageless for my Destiny (ultimately, it might be both at a lower level though depending on content).

Hello!
My first tank is fast approaching 50, and after a lot of careful research, learning to play as a tanker (and getting rid of most of the brute mindset I've come to know and love), and finding myself more and more amazed by the tank class I've come up with what I hope to be my final build.

So: please help me make the best darn tank I can!
